Bob Morton has also resigned as chairman. Adrian Martin has been promoted to executive chairman. Jeremy Newman, the former global CEO of BDO International will join RSM as a consultant in an attempt to improve the company's performance and financial position.
The company said that "pricing and similar underlying trading effects account for approximately half of the revenue decline with the balance arising from updated accounting estimates."
